Just a quick one to let you know that we've just left Southend pier and are heading towards Chatham, to pick up the leaders of the UK's most important development, faith and environment groups - including the Women's Institute, Oxfam, Tearfund and RSPB - representing four million people.
From Chatham, we'll be sailing towards Kingsnorth, where the directors will sign a declaration saying: "Four million strong, we say no to dirty coal power stations, and yes to a clean green renewable energy future". The declaration will then be taken to Kingsnorth by one of our inflatable boats and delivered by hand to E.on staff.
The Rainbow Warrior is a ship full of stories; everywhere on the ship there are photographs of the non-violent direct actions Greenpeace has taken over the years, artefacts from our campaigns, painted totems donated by Native Canadian people, pictures drawn by visitors to the boat, and portraits of crew members past and present. And every time you talk to someone who knows the ship and her history intimately, like the captain, you get the chance to hear more.
